The following points are intended to help during the change-over from your previous cooker to

the Aga way of life. You will also find that the Aga Book and the Aga new user guide video provide

a very useful introduction to the cooker.

After the Aga has been installed

When first lit, the Aga will emit an odour for a short while. This is simply due to protective oil

burning off the hotplates. If you can wipe the inside of the hotplate whilst the Aga is heating up

it will avoid a film of this oil being deposited on the inside of the lids. Also, condensation may

occur on the top plate and front plate whilst the Aga is heating up. This should be wiped away

as soon as possible.

The Heat Indicator

The heat indicator is above the Roasting Oven door and has three sections: black, silver and red.

When the indicator is on or around the black line in the silver section the cooker is at the correct

working temperature. The purpose of the heat indicator is to show whether the cooker e contains

the full amount of stored heat and it should, therefore, only be referred to first thing in the

morning or after a period of several hours during which no cooking has been done.

NOTE: IT DOES NOT INDICATE THE OVEN TEMPERATURE

For most effective operation of the cooker the following points should be carefully observed:

1. Close the insulating covers whenever the hotplates are not in use.

2. Clean the hotplates regularly with the wire brush.

3. Utensils with ground flat bases must be used to make perfect contact with the hotplates.

4. Have the cooker serviced at regular intervals by your Aga distributor.

5. Take care, when closing the oven doors, to lift them on to the catch.

6. Try to cook as much as possible in the ovens, so that heat is conserved and cooking smells

and condensation are reduced.

The Roasting Oven can also be used for ‘grilling’ at the top and shallow ‘frying’ on the bottom.

Keep the insulated covers down when the hotplates are not in use so that the heat stored in the

cooker is conserved.

z For optimum cooking performance, use the Aga utensils and cast iron cookware. They

have thick ground bases which give the best contact with the hotplates.

z The Aga pans can be stacked in the Simmering Oven.This is especially useful for steaming

vegetables and simmering sauces.

z Store the Plain Shelf out of the Aga. Use it cold in the Roasting Oven to deflect the heat

from the top of the oven, creating a more moderate oven temperature. It can also be

used as a baking sheet.

z A guide to Aga cooking is given on page 11. Ask your Aga distributor for an invitation to an

Aga demonstration.
